Moravská Slavia Brno is a Czech football club from Brno . It was founded on April 25, 1906 as a football department in the SK Moravská Slavia Brno sports club. The team became Moravian champions in 1912 and 1913, in 1935/36 and 1936/37 Morenda , as the club was called among the population, played in the 1st Czechoslovak League. A few years after the Second World War, the association ceased to exist, it was re-established in 1965, but has not achieved its previous importance since then.
Club history
In order to face a strong German minority in Brno, Czech patriots founded a sports club on October 25, 1904 called Moravská Slavia Brno . Football was also played, but the establishment of its own department was not established until a year and a half later in April 1906. The team consisted largely of students, and the team did not find its own place until 1908 in Žabovřesky . Four years later Moravská Slavia became Moravian champions and met in the semifinals of the Czech championship on AC Sparta Prague , which they lost 3: 6. A year later this success could be repeated, this time the team came straight into the final of the championship as champions of Moravia, but lost to Slavia Prague 2-0.
After the First World War, Moravská Slavia played on a course in Pisárky . There was a lot of international contact, teams from Austria , Sweden , Switzerland , but also from England and France came to Brno . Morenda himself undertook numerous tours abroad, including to Spain in 1924 . There the Moravia lost to FC Barcelona 2: 3 and FC Valencia 1: 3. Against Real Madrid , the team reached a 2-2 draw, in a second game Real were defeated 1-0. The Brno team also won 3-1 against Athletic Bilbao . These exhausting trips had a negative impact on the domestic league, for example Moravská Slavia had to play with the B-team or make up for numerous games at the end of a round. It took until 1928/29 before the eleven, who also played in red and white shirts, based on Slavia Prague, secured the title of Moravian champions again.
At that time, Czechoslovak football was divided into a professional and an amateur camp, Moravská Slavia had chosen the latter area and thus took part in the Czechoslovak amateur championship in 1929. In the eight-team first round, the team defeated the German club DSV Brno 8-0 and 3-2, in the semifinals they were defeated by DFC Prague 2-4 and 2-9. The club's biggest rival, SK Židenice , had opted for professionalism and subsequently outstripped Moravská Slavia. Nevertheless, in 1935 the red-whites were promoted to the 1st Czechoslovak League. The team had won the Moravian-Silesian league, but still had to go through a qualifying tournament in which four out of five teams should rise due to the expansion of the league from 12 to 14 clubs. The season started hopefully for the Brno team, after all they finished tenth in the table with 21 points from 26 games. In the derbies against SK Židenice they lost 1: 2 and 2: 6. In their second first division year, Moravská Slavia only managed a 1-1 draw against SK Kladno and a 2-1 win against Viktoria Pilsen . The team was clearly beaten last and had to relegate. The following season 1937/38 was not very successful either. Relegation from the Moravian-Silesian league could only be avoided by a better goal difference, in the end it was only postponed by a year. As an explicitly Czech club, Moravská Slavia had a particularly difficult time under the German government and had to vacate its place in Pisárky by December 31, 1939 . The club's new home was Královo Pole in the area of today's Srbská Stadium .
After the Second World War, the club began in the fourth class IB třída and soon rose to the IA třída . In 1949 he merged with Sokol GZ Královo Pole , in fact it was a takeover, Moravská Slavia ceased to exist. It was re-established in December 1965. Since the new club had neither its own team nor its own stadium, it merged with TJ Slovan Staré Brno. From the 1969/70 season Moravská Slavia played in the Divize , which was then and now the fourth highest division, which could be held until 1977. In 1982 the relegation to the sixth division ( IA třída ) followed, followed by the immediate resurgence.
After the velvet revolution , the football department was spun off in 1993, which now competes as an independent club under the name SK Moravská Slavia Brno - fotbal , but is still popularly called Morenda .
